But chickity-check this out...
I had to run to the convenience store. I took the Explorer, since it was low on gas anyways. Today, regular fuel jumped from the 2.99(9) a gallon that it has stuck to since july 4th, to 3.09 almost everywhere. On top of that, places were charging around 3.29 for premium (30 cents higher than regular rather than 20 like usual).
Well as I cross the street to the convenience store, I see something odd. 2.93 a gallon, cheaper than I've seen it since june. Just yesterday it was 2.99 a gallon there, so I find it odd they cut 6 cents off the prices when everyone went up by 10.
Then I get to the pump.... $3.09 a gallon, same as everywhere else.
I was an idiot and forgot to have a reciept printed and the guy inside is a flippin' n00b (never seen him before) and couldn't get a reprint either. I'm seriously going to rattle the manager's cage when I get up in the morning though. He's going to get an ear full!
Is there anything I can do (aside from not shop at the only place within 10 miles of my place that sells decent fuel?)
